braking stages
I am in need of new rear brakes and as I wait for parts and time to do the work I have been trying to use the regen and not brake as hard to avoid the use of the rear brakes. In the mean time I have been getting an excessive build up of brake dust on my rear wheels. Does the CH use more rear bake in light braking situations since it uses regen in the front? If anyone has any insight I would love to understand the stages a little better.

regen has nothing to do with back brakes or rear brakes etc. regen is simply the magnet inside the motor generator reversing polarity, slowing you down. the friction brakes are brakes like on any other car.

oh ok. the pads last so long anyway that it doesn't really matter. they're dirt cheap
my rear pads at 47k still look new. they're super thick

I'm nearly at 100k and I have done a track day in the car. I'm not disappointed I didn't make it 150k, I'm excited I don't have to buy a stupid tool to compress the caliper.

I drove today to work breaking only with regen.
Rear discs were cold when arrived to work, so my quess wouöd be that its front brake only.
Just wondering how that works at slippery.. maby abs comes into play.

consider brakes from other models such as Corolla IM, Scion TC, etc. apparently the front spindle should be similar if not same. i haven't looked into it but I'll bet there's some nice cheap OEM brake options for us.
